I loved this book. Going into it I had no idea what to expect, from the cover and the summary it sounded a bit immature to me. But boy! oh boy! was I surprised... It was entertaining and the characters were fabulous!! I loved the plot, the path the story took you through was unexpected and it had some turns you never saw coming. Overall I loved it...

This was a great book - the movie was really good too. The main character is like nothing you've ever read before!

Book was too vague. I expected more.

This book explores main themes in life, and this one author's finding and opinions on her life. I love the story of traveling to discover one's self, of being comfortable with the idea of God, and eating damn good pasta. This is a book for people who are a little lost in life, looking to other people's success stories of finding peace with themselves in their world.

I found this to be a captivating and cohesive novel by Jennifer McMahon. The setting is vivid and the characters are layered. The narrator is a strong, perhaps naive young woman who is easy to relate to on many levels. The stories and secrets within the main plot unwrap delicately and delightfully like one of those mysterious Russian dolls. It keeps the reader turning the pages just to find out what happens next, or even better, what really happened two decades ago. All in all, it left me with the feeling that literally no stone should be left unturned in pursuit of the truth. More importantly, the story teaches us the value of always remaining true to ourselves, no matter what the obstacles are that lie in our way.
One of my all time favorites!

very entertaining but not too fluffy.
Have you ever read a book that left you so connected to the characters, you feel like you could cry when it's over because you just aren't done "knowing" them? That may sound bizarre, but that's what happened to me when I read this book. I practically forced it down the throat of everyone I knew when I was done, but luckily, everyone who took my suggestion LOVED it as much as I did. Not only was the character development excellent but the plot was gripping and truly unpredictable, you never knew what was going to happen next. This has got to be one of the best fiction books I've ever read, right up there with "The Kite Runner."
Cute and funny as always.
I am a longtime Mary Stewart fan and am enjoying the delicious experience of re-reading her novels. In THE GABRIEL HOUNDS, 22 year old Christy is enjoying a group tour of the Middle East. Just before the tour ends, she runs into her second cousin Charles. They were raised together and have a lot of fondness for each other which is semi-romantic. The trouble begins when they decide to visit their eccentric great Aunt Harriet who lives and dresses like a man in her palace in Lebanon. Aunt Harriet only contacts the family at holiday times to carry on about things and to issue a new copy of her will. She lives with several local servants and seems to try to be a living version of a legend. Christy manages to get there first as Charles is delayed. With the help of a very kind driver named Hamid, she is able to force her way past the near mute old guy at the door who had orders to let no one in only to be further thwarted by the enigmatic John Lethman, who says he is Aunt Harriet's companion. He is very discouraging but finally tells her that her aunt gets up at midnight and is up all night long so maybe she can see her late. Hamid only reluctantly leaves Christy there overnight. Is the Aunt Harriet she finally gets to see at midnight in a dark room and who speaks in a croaky whisper REALLY Aunt Harriet or an imposter? Christy hasn't seen her in 15 years and she looks and sounds like a man in disguise. Hearing that Charles wants to come to see her, "Aunt Harriet" refuses with no explanation and seems to want her out too. Funny, since just a couple of months earlier, she had personally invited Charles to come and stay and he had seen her recently as well. Christy cannot leave the next day due to terrible flooding swelling the river but her cousin Charles (an expert climber) manages to climb over to her. He finds her story odd and is determined to get in to see for himself. The story is an interesting one and there are other characters that bring even more intrigue. Why is the jealous, rude maid Halide wearing Aunt Harriet's favorite ruby ring that had been promised to Christy? Who does John go to meet mysteriously on the island in the middle of the night? The descriptions are pure Mary Stewart detailed magic and evoke the essence of Lebanon until you can see and smell it for yourself. There are breakins, murders, kidnappings and more and they all end in a flash of fire dramatic ending. I recommend this!
